I finished DIRT. tonight! Hand wrote 94 pages the last two days. My hand is a bloody mess. But anyway, I haven't updated the progress bar since it's not in FD yet, thereby preventing me from getting a final page count. But I'll go ahead and max out the bar and we can get back to that. 12 days, so many some-odd pages.

I do the same, I work it out in Mead notebooks first. I don't like the script cards function in FD, I'r rather flip through my notes: Character histories, main plot ideas, lines of dialogue to work in etc...congrats on finishing

AW:I use my notebook as a first draft, then make revisions as I type it into Final Draft. It kind of kills two birds with one stone for me. The up side being a more polished script. Plus, believe it or not, I feel more creative when I'm actually writing then when I'm typing.

MQ:The notes are a big reason why I stick to writing everything out, too. I always have little blurbs that I want put into a specific scene, and it's just easier to have it all spread out before me.

I've been writing my notes and outline directly on my laptop using the freeware program KeyNote. I have such bad penmanship I can't imagine ever writing much in longhand. But that's just me. To each his own.
